Ever want too see the breakdown of unicode text? I made `uniwhat` to show that.

@ebel Thank you! I regularly have to check strings for hidden/invisible/tricksy characters and this should be able to retire the 30 adhoc slightly different scripts littered all over my filesystem that evolved to do something similar.
@ebel What a cool tool!
@ebel Extremely useful! Thanks for writing it!
@ebel Now installed on debian.
Had to install rust first. Used this approarch https://thenewstack.io/install-rust-on-linux/ with the rust script run under my own user.
But it looks like debian has native rust with an active community so maybe using stuff from there would have been a better approach...?
@steinarb yeah I use `cargo install $TOOL`
@ebel google led me to the page I referenced, for installing rust, to get cargo.
But I think I maybe could have done "apt install cargo" or "apt install rust" or something instead...?
@steinarb sorry yes, you need to do that curl rustup | sh thing, Then you can do `cargo install uniwhat`. I don't know if there's an easier debian way
@ebel very cool, bookmarked. i remember multiple occasions in the past years where this would have been super useful!
This too was inspired by `uniname(1)`, which hasn't been updated in years, so can't recognise many new unicode characters like emojis.
